Astronomers at MIT and elsewhere have spotted an extremely bright red spot in the early universe. The object resembles an enormous star, roughly the size of our solar system. But it also is putting out 100 billion times more ...

For community-dwelling older adults, longitudinal changes in N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) concentrations (heart stress [HS]) may improve risk stratification for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality, ...

President Donald Trump's administration on Tuesday proposed a rule change that would open 44 million acres (about 68,750 square miles) of wild, undisturbed forest for road construction and logging.

You've heard of gig workers, freelancers and temporary employees. But do you know about marginal workers? Accounting for about one in six U.S. jobs, it's a huge category of people who are going nowhere fast in the workplace—and ...

A new study by the Department of Anatomy and Anthropology at Tel Aviv University, published in Scientific Reports, offers an explanation for one of the striking differences between men and women: the evolutionary development ...

Between 29,000 and 19,000 years ago, the planet experienced some of its coldest temperatures and drastic landscape changes at the peak of the Ice Age, during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), the period of most extensive global ...

A new study published in Science Advances takes a closer look at how AI agents' choices are influenced by their peers. The team found that more advanced models tend to follow the majority when shown other agents' choices, ...

So far, most of the minerals found on Mars tell a story of lava poured out by ancient volcanoes, followed by long stretches in which water trickled through and slowly reshaped the rock. However, some rocks scattered across ...

Quantum sensors, devices that collect measurements by exploiting quantum-mechanical phenomena, could potentially detect extremely weak magnetic, gravitational and electromagnetic signals with greater sensitivity than classical ...

Superconductors are materials in which electrical current flows with a resistance of zero, typically below specific temperatures. In conventional superconductors, this state of matter emerges when two electrons bind together ...

Researchers at the Bernhard Nocht Institute for Tropical Medicine (BNITM) are using a range of mathematical models to calculate the expected spread of West Nile virus in Germany. They are also developing forecasting models ...

Biologists, zoologists and psychologists have been trying to trace the origins of human language for centuries. One well-known theory, known as the social brain hypothesis, suggests that increasingly complex social lives ...
